Anyone read this hysterical foot note in the Bio book? It was triggered by a discussion of the corpus callosum and talked about how people without one kind of have two mind.

"Anyone interested in reading about jaw-dropping neurological cases should begin with Oliver Sack's The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. You will not be sorry if you buy this book."

Maybe studying every day has made my send of humor dry, but I actually laughed out loud at the library when I read this.

That's actually a real book about a real medical case!

This is true. If I remember correctly, it also has a bunch of other cases too. A lot of people really enjoy reading that book but I, personally, got bored fairly quickly. 😳

This is a VERY commonly recommended book for people in cognitive psych and neuropsych classes. It's a good read.

Oh I never doubted that it was a real book. I still found the foot note hilarious. Maybe I'm alone on this, but I still wanted to share.
